“Our Mutual Friend” by Charles Dickens is a masterful tale of love, greed, and social ambition set against the backdrop of 19th-century London. The story begins with the mysterious death of John Harmon, heir to a vast fortune, and unfolds through a rich tapestry of characters, including the virtuous Lizzie Hexam and the scheming Silas Wegg. Dickens’ keen eye for detail and his deep empathy for human nature make this novel a timeless exploration of society and the human heart. Reading it, I felt transported to a world where every character, no matter how minor, left a lasting impression.
Ask me not what I have, but what I am.
